I kept seeing this headline...but this is the first time I've seen it from a credible source. I think we've lost the sensitivity to respond to this nonsense. Years of rage baiting etc. I think Trump could take full autocratic cont

To be fair I felt that way about regular, human written headlines long before Ai. "It worked, until it didnt." "It was beautiful, until it wasn't"

Idk I'm halfway through it and am really resonating with its points AND missing the telltale signs of ai. So either his prompt is making the writing more palatable, or maybe he's just prolific. In either case, I would count this a

I agree with you

am i understanding it right that this is used to validate the output of llms? any other uses for distributed lean? genuinely curious

Using Ai isn't lazier than your regurgitated dismissal, to be fair.

Would you add type: ignore to all the files too? My coworker did that the other day and I'm deciding how to respond.

I find myself agreeing with everything. I hear "thats something we can fix/improve/iterate on" when I'm criticizing code at ny company. My retort is "why aren't we getting it right the first time?"

https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2020/12/aws-lambd... Is what you're talking about a new thing? Or respectfully, are you just wrong?

"128MB default with up to 3008MB max. You can submit a support ticket to get 10GB RAM, but I was too lazy to argue with AWS support." Was this written before wide availability of 10g memory lambdas?

"LLMs are actually pretty deterministic, so there is no need to do more than one attempt with the exact same data." Is this true? I remember there being a randomization factor in weighing tokens to make the output more something

How do you feel about regular books, whose iterations and edits you dont see?

News triages newsworthiness based on clicks, its incentivized to get an emotional reaction out of you. The reader has to wade through all that to triage the absolute importance. After years of consuming media that led me to believe dt was a

I think my point is you're expected to triage find me votes vs 911. And the fact that find me votes is in the news isn't indicative of democratic decline, its the way the news work.

During dt's first term I believed this as well and eagerly awaited the Mueller investigation. Then when he won reelection I concluded I was consuming media in an echo chamber. This fear you're commenting on goes way farther back t

I no longer succumb to the emotional response opinions or claims like this try to evoke. Don't we all remember how worked up we were over the russia collusion story, and the special prosecutor Robert muller...and nothing came of it...a

Great comment. I have similar thoughts relating to hive mind vs independent societies or progression under autocratic vs democratic societies. The collective that can organize fully towards a goal is going to beat a collective that can&#x27

The first thing any self respecting python dev is going to do on a new repo is implement typechecking. And the second thing they're going to do is complain about pip/pyenv. These days I would trade my python experience for scala,

Similarly, I weigh my financial situation through the lens of how many months I could last if I lost my job. The number isn't infinite, and so that anxiety still drives me regardless of the realities of how long a job search in our ind

I was ruminating in my head about a project I spent almost 3 years on not going live. A little relieved to see that this is pretty common.
